Sigh. These are a lot better than the Tier 8 shoulders, for druid tanking. Why do they have to have the fricking ugly rogue model...

Comment by haghala

These shoulders are currently Best in slot for Rogue's.

Would be intresting to know wich color theme these shoulders follow.

I saw a Warrior wearing these the other day.

BiS for tank druids as well...

These are BiS as well for ... feral Druid 2v2 Arena !

Downrank if you must, but it's the truth anyway. While resilience is nice2have, is is not a priority. Both hit(5% or very close is a must) and expertise(very useful up to 5% as well) are stronger stats for us. Even weighing resilience as high as hit or exp, these have the same amount of different stats as the furious dragonhide shoulders but a higher item level and therefore a higher quantity of stat points. In short, these have more of the stats you want for Arena than the best Arena shoulders do.

as of 6/8/2009 these stand as BiS for all Plate-DPS classes, according to maxdps.com and rawr.

Another case of poor itemization by blizzard.

Comment by thothamon

Well, that just shows how very useless both of these resources can be for plate wearers. The problem is that both of them use an item weight scale to dps output setup. If you are already expertise capped...these shoulders will not help you in that area, if you are already very high on hit... once again these shoulders will not be of great use. There is no way the agility on here can compete with the crit rating, nor the AP the amount of strength on other drops. Simply put, learn what YOU need for your toon, and itemize accordingly. Do not always trust item weight scales, they rarely adjust for the nature of hit/dodge expertise caps.

For combat Legguards of Cunning Deception are BiS, but for mutilate these are the BiS off-piece.

Funny how you say that... You refer that a pair of legs are best in slot over a pair of shoulders? ^^Useually I put my shoulderpads on my shoulders and my legguards on my legs ;) But not everyonedoes the same xD
